Sweet Dreams Wholecloth Quilt - Entered in Virtual Quilt Show

Sweet Dreams was inspired by some pictures I saw on the internet, I wanted to make a whole cloth quilt incorporating a dream catcher design, and have some fun being creative!



The quilt is made from a single piece of off-white satin, with wool batting and white cotton backing. I quilted a dream catcher in the center, hand beaded, with some thread painting. 

In the borders I created a design that echoed the feathers and dream catchers, along with a traditional feather design. The background areas were quilted in several background fill designs. Instead of a binding, I faced the quilt so that the design fills to the edge of the quilt.
The quilt is entered in the Virtual Quilt show, please take a look, and vote for your favorite (hopefully for my quilt!)

Rose Quilt - Using up my Stash

I'm trying to get more organized, and to use my stash up. This quilt used some fabric I've had for a LONG time, and I was really pleased with the way it turned out.


It is machine pieced and quilted, and the center heart and roses are painted with fabric paints. I have already washed it, and the paint still looks great. 


The floral border was quilted in a simple feather border with light blue thread, and of course the center has lots of feathers!
